Description

Ketorolac ophthalmic is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in eye drops to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the eyes. It is often prescribed after eye surgery or for conditions that cause eye discomfort.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to this medication simply as 'ketorolaco' without the 'oftálmico' designation, which can lead to confusion. It is important to maintain the formal register and ensure that the specific formulation is clear in clinical discussions.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'ketorolaco' with other NSAIDs like 'ibuprofeno'; mispronouncing 'oftálmico' as 'oftalmico'; using informal language instead of maintaining a clinical register.
